Monstaville Book II. Chapter 34

- Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderlos
de La Clos in the novel Les Liaisons
Dangereuse, 1782 (also cited in 2003 Quentin Tarantino’s 2003 film Kill Bill: volume 1 as a Klingon saying:
“This reference comes from a scene in the 1982 Star Trek film The Wrath of
Khan: it wasn't actually said by a Klingon, but rather the wrathful
character Khan Noonian Singh tells Kirk that it is a Klingon proverb while the
spaceships Reliant and Enterprise play chicken.” www.everything2.com).

She thought for a while. ‘Just what
we’re doing now. Did you see that light from the city across the bridge? All of
a sudden it was so beautiful.’

‘What else?’

‘Men,’ she laughed.

‘What kind?’

‘Any kind. The kind that likes me.’

‘What do you dislike most?’

‘Mean people...Like that lady in the
store back in town. There’s a million people like her and I hate every one of
them. Always trying to make themselves big by tearing somebody else down...You
do it too, you know.’

‘Me?’

‘Yes, you.’

‘When?’

‘This afternoon. Talking big about a
boat you never saw.’

‘Oh, that.’

‘Just don’t be mean like that and
we’ll get along fine. Only get mad at mean people.’

‘What after mean people?’ the
Captain asked.

‘People who think they’re better
than you are.’

‘What next?’

‘Lots of things.’

‘What?’

‘Well, there’s lots of things I
don’t want. I don’t want to get old. I don’t want people to be mean. Oh, I said
that.’

She thought for a while.

‘Sometimes I don’t want to be so
lonely. You know, I thought George and me were really going to make it. And
then this Debbie comes along and it’s like he doesn’t even know me. I didn’t do
anything to him. That’s just mean.’

‘Anything else?’

‘Isn’t that enough? It isn’t any
special thing that makes me feel bad. I don’t know what it’s going to be until
it happens.’

She looked at him.

‘Sometimes there’s something that
just comes over me, and I get scared...That happened this afternoon.’

“Chris Evans...speaks
light-heartedly of the terrific laughs engendered by ‘waving your willy about
in the workplace. I put it to him that, if you’re the boss, the star or the
bloke who pays the wages, then people will laugh through fear, intimidation,
embarrassment or self-preservation. They’re too scared of the consequences not
to pretend to go along with the so-called joke. Exhibitionism is a nasty and
threatening form of bullying. When I worked on the Big Breakfast I inherited
make-up artists who’d had to put up with daily sightings of Evans’ organ and it
wasn’t any sort of giggle whatsoever.” - Venessa Feltz (‘Exposing yourself at
work is for plonkers, Chris,’ Venessa Feltz column, ‘From the Heart,’ Daily Express, 8 March 2005).

“Where the fear is, happiness is
not.” – Seneca.

“The meek shall inherit the earth,”
said the Nazarene. Be gentle, sensitive, feminine, loving. Accept others as
they are because if you resist them, you project separateness onto them and
create karma. To be whole in yourself as an individual, one needs to be open to
the whole of consciousness and surrender to oneness because this is an inner
level of oneself also. Be like water, as Laozi counsels.

“The hero
is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches
in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who
walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.” - Felix
Adler.

“Kindness can become its own motive.
We are made kind by being kind.” - Eric Hoffer.

“My feeling is that there is nothing
in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.”
- Olive Schreiner.

“Wherever there is a human being
there is an opportunity for a kindness.” - Seneca.

“Just because an animal is large, it
doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember
that he wants as much kindness as Roo.” - A. A. Milne.

“Choose being kind over being right,
and you'll be right every time.” - Richard Carlson.

“Treat
every person with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you.
Remember that you show compassion to others not because of who they are but
because of who you are.” - Andrew T. Somers.

“Today we are afraid of simple words
like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words
because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world
is sick.” - Lin Yutang.

“Beginning
today, treat everyone you meet as if he or she were going to be dead by
midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can
muster, and do so with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the
same again.” - Og Mandino.

“Forget injuries, never forget
kindnesses.” - Confucius.

“There is no greater weapon than
kindness.” - Anon.

“Kindness is the noblest weapon to
conquer with.” - American Proverb.

“For as Maitreya said in one of the
teachings he gave Asanga: ‘The water of compassion courses through the canal of
loving kindness.’" - Sogyal Rinpoche (The
Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Rider & Co, London, U.K., 1992,
p.196).

"As the rain falls on the just and unjust alike, let your heart be
untroubled by judgements and let your kindness rain down on all." -
Buddha.

“Your own
soul is nourished when you are kind. It is destroyed when you are cruel.” - King
Solomon.

‘The True
Passage Home.’ A Message from The Council of Light (channelled through Rebecca Couch on the New Moon of 24 May 2009, www.heartlight.ca/council/latest).

Beloved ones, there is so much to do and yet there
is only one thing that is important in it: that you remain in your sacred heart
centred on love. It sounds easy, and it doesn't have to become your life’s
great effort, when it is just your choice in every moment that creates the
unified outcome. And so it is - especially when you least expect it - the
answer. There is a great quote ‘Love is the answer. What was the question?’

This is
the key when you have forgotten your True Self and are in frustration or anger
or judgment or impatience or fear or pain: connecting with your heart centre
that is the passageway to your Higher Self, your I Am Presence, your greater
divinity and to the higher realms of the divine that you are. Anything outside
of this is illusion created in order to return you in that direction. That’s
all. You need only focus on this one intention to clear the path of life’s
obstructions...weeds, branches, stones, debris…that have cluttered the path.
Clear it and keep it well trodden, for this is the end of the maze!

Beware of
anything that pops up to spook you along the path. Be aware of your own ego’s
folly. Beware of those little entanglements that preoccupy you in minutia. Be
aware of your physical body’s transmutations that can dispel, distract or
dramatise you. Their best purpose is to guide you back home; a homing beacon to
remind you to come back here not stray out there. The pain will cease when the
beacon doesn’t have to sound so loudly to get your attention. When you can only
look back from the other side, the body’s pain callings will dissolve along
with the need for any other external dependency, distraction or disillusion.
While there are many paths, there is only one opening to your truth and you
will have found it!

And what
miraculous expansion awaits you on the other side of the doorway? You will just
have to go there to find out, but it is promised to be unimaginable on this
side and unnecessarily describable on the other. It just is the best isness
there is.

So what
are you waiting for? More sticks and stones and thorny vines to keep you from
that beautiful garden? It is time to remove them once and for all and to make
the true passage home.

In
this love, we are,

The
Council of Light that is Within.

‘Let That Cake Rise’ by Teacher Samuel
of Panoptia (channelled through George Barnard, Illawarra
District, Australia, 20 October 2009, www.1111progressgroup.com).

Much, very much is asked of you all during your
lifetime on this earth, and in fact of all citizens on disordered worlds like
this one, yes, the near-impossible is sometimes demanded, and frequently for
extended periods.In such circumstances
trust and faith can be wonderful character traits to sustain you, to lead you
through difficult times, to guide you out of a mire of concerns - that swamp of
worries, so to speak. It is also not unusual to, at times, feel you have been
forsaken, rendered bereft of celestial overcare.

During
the most difficult times there is an opportunity to grow in spirit, although
often it is not in the first place, but in the very last instance that an
individual turns to his or her Creator. That moment in time can become ‘the
proverbial fork in the road’ for that person’s life, and from that very event
onwards, great strides can be made.Again, indeed, ultimate trust in the Creator and his myriad Helpers may
well be forced onto this individual for a satisfactory conclusion to problems
to be overcome, or such difficulties to be more patiently endured.

At
the soul level more progress is then made, often noticed by others, rarely
glimpsed by the individual. And yet there is the tendency by many to try to
discern their spiritual progress, which can really only be viewed by them in
retrospect, and generally only over prolonged periods of time. A kind of
parallel can be observed with a behaviour of a youngster who is baking her or
his first cake. If the recipe says the cake dough needs to rise for half of one
hour, it is important to follow the recipe. It is equally important to not
constantly ‘open the oven door’ on your spiritual progress.

Have
trust in all being well with your progress if you are doing your best. Have
faith in your being guided by your good senses, and know that your earthly days
are only the beginning of an eternal career. To attempt to class yourself as
either advanced or ‘treading spiritual water,’ might well be either conceited
or seriously self-effacing.Those in the
know of your true spiritual status are your Guardian Angels, and above all, the
Spark of God within you, your true Saviour.

Should
you still feel uncertain, remember that this universe is both friendly and
efficient in guiding its youngest (human) children, and that there remain ages
upon ages in which you may correct any faults. Your ability to astral travel is
not an acknowledgement of your spiritual ‘prowess,’ nor is any report by
friends that you perhaps ‘bi-located’ in their home or place of work. Without grandstanding,
and likewise without you deriding yourself or others, it remains your task in
life to progress in faith and trust by letting that ‘spiritual cake’ rise
uninterruptedly.

This is your group
teacher Samuel of Panoptia. Enjoy your evening as you contemplate my recipe for
terrestrial life and beyond. I send you all my love.

Don’t be ashamed of your tears, they can wash the pain off your soul

“Do you see how
your aura expands far above, below and around you? Do you see how each kind
thought and action expands your aura and makes your heart glow? Observe how
this glow of your heart precedes you in your earthly endeavours and protects
you at night when you sleep. Observe how you influence all the people in your
everyday life…See how your aura interacts with your environment, your yard, the
freeway, your pets, animals, birds, insects…Watch how Gaia responds to the
colour of your aura…Note how Her plants and animals respond to your
admiration…Pay attention to how the atmosphere wavers as you walk through
it…YOU are a powerful Multidimensional Being, just now emerging from your
cocoon of doubt and fear.” – The Arcturians (channelled through Dr. Suzanne
Caroll, ‘Arcturian Corridor Part III,’
August 2010, www.multidimensions.com).

As we
resist experiences we tangle ourselves up in knots. Or, rather, our minds
become unsettled, cloudy and confused, blocking out the Light that shines in
the heart. We have been stuck in this condition which separates us from the
Oneness of the Love and Light that we Are for many lifetimes now. We all know
deep down that this is the time of planetary Ascension, of mass liberation from
the prison of low-density thought which blocks our flow of feeling and causes
us to stagnate emotionally and therefore spiritually as well. The return of
feminine energies, of the Goddess, is a wonderful opportunity for each soul
that has incarnated on the Earth (hence, we have a population above six
billion!). That is why we are here at this time, to receive the Light and
nourishment (divine love) that is returning to our beloved planet and
accelerate our growth. We have all said, ‘Enough is enough.’ We have agreed
collectively to graduate from this school of hard knocks and to stop tying
ourselves up in knots. It is time to release these patterns of thought and the
repressed emotions trapped within them one at a time if necessary. [This is a
little note from a more heart-centred me at the end of Book 3!].

"If
you are inwardly free from fighting, no one will be able to fight with
you." -Taoism.

“I’m not a
fighter, I have bad reflexes. I was once run over by a car being pushed by two
guys.” - Woody Allen.

Did you know that this is the 12th and lowest universe in our multiverse and that it is founded on the energies of fear and suffering which were not resolved in the 11th?

Karma & Emotions

This e-book explores the opportunity for releasing deep emotional blockages from the past that crisis presents and the notion that this process of self-healing is an essential aspect of spiritual ascension (click the picture for more info & free pdf download)

About Me

Born on 25 November 1965 and currently living in Yorkshire, England. I write songs and books and have a website that serves as a platform for my work as well as being an Ascension resource. The Treasure Chest displays all chapters of The Monstaville Memoirs trilogy as well as further insights from various sources relating to the themes of these books. The Powerlessness of Now reveals the many ways in which we have given our power away to the Establishment through its web of control.

“Someone asked, ‘Why is there suffering?’ [Meher] Baba gave this succinct reply: ‘Suffering is essential for the elimination of the ego, just as it was necessary for you to scrub and scrub in order to wash the stain from my coat.’" - Unkown.
